Mike Miller
JE Miller Accountancy
I really do not know where we would have been in 2020 without your support and our hosted desktop that has enabled us to work from home.
Bryn Towns
Director at RoqSolid
We were initially cautious and uncertain of the security of working like this – this is something we have swiftly put behind us; the system is completely secure and reliable. I would highly recommend Cloud2Me for anyone considering an ‘office in the cloud’.

FAQs
How would you best describe, what a Hosted Desktop looks like to operate?
Does printing and scanning work in the same way?
Can other customers within your hosting environment, spread a virus or ransomware into our Hosted Desktop system?
Can we utilise our own Microsoft Office 365 licenses with the Hosted Desktop service?
Yes you can indeed. The only caveat is that they need to be the correct Office 365 license or “Microsoft 365” license, i.e. an “Enterprise” grade license. Such as “Office 365 E3” or “Microsoft 365 Standard”. (We can of course, help you with checking your Office 365 license).
